Welcome to the Prather v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Settlement Website

United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia Case No. 1:15-cv-042310-SCJ (N.D. Ga.)

IF YOU RECEIVED A CALL OR TEXT FROM WELLS FARGO ON YOUR CELLULAR TELEPHONE IN CONNECTION WITH A STUDENT LOAN BY MEANS OF AN AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE DIALING SYSTEM AND/OR AN ARTIFICIAL OR PRERECORDED VOICE, YOU COULD RECEIVE A PAYMENT FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.

A consumer brought a lawsuit alleging that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") or ("Defendant"), violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), 47 U.S.C. § 227, by using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or an artificial or prerecorded voice to initiate calls to cell phones ("Automatic Calls") in connection with a student loan, and that these Automatic Calls were made without the prior express consent of Class Members. Wells Fargo denies the allegations.

A settlement has been reached in this case, which affects individuals who received an Automatic Call regarding a Wells Fargo student loan account from April 21, 2011 to December 19, 2015.

The Settlement, if approved, would provide $2,075,071.80 to pay valid and timely claims of those persons who received any of the above-described Automatic Calls from Wells Fargo, as well as to pay Class Counsel's attorneys' fees, a service award to the Class Representative, and administrative costs of the Settlement; avoid the further cost and risk associated with continuing the lawsuit; and release Wells Fargo from further liability.

This is the only way to get a payment. You can submit a valid and timely Claim Form online at this website or by mail to Prather Wells Fargo TCPA Settlement, P.O. Box 43464, Providence RI 02940, or by calling the toll-free number, 1-844-363-2463. If you fail to do so, you will not receive a settlement payment.

Do Nothing

Get no payment. Give up any rights to sue Wells Fargo separately regarding the legal claims in this case.

Exclude Yourself or "Opt Out" of the Settlement

If you ask to be excluded, you will get no payment. You will also not waive any rights you may have against Wells Fargo with respect to the legal claims in this case.

Object

Write to the Court about why you believe the Settlement is unfair.

Go to a Hearing

Ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the Settlement.

These rights and options - and the deadlines to exercise them - are explained on this website and in the Notice.

The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. Payments will be made on valid and timely claims if the Court approves the Settlement and after any appeals are resolved. Please be patient.
